I'd probably buy a couple of Ethernet fibre adapters (2mile range) there
about =A340 each, and some optical cabling. Will give you full 100mbit/s da=
ta
rate.

I found some on ebuyer.com the other day but cant seem to find them now.

range will be a big issue, ethernet over cat5 only goes to 100m (though i
belive some manufacturers have products that can boost this further).
repeaters would be tricky to power.

ethernet over fiber is a possible way arround this but its rather pricey.

dsl is another possible soloution but the head end kit may be expensive.

and ofc there may be legal issues with running the cable through the woods.
